"Suddenly Frodo noticed that a strange-looking weather-beaten man, sitting in the shadows near the wall, was also listening intently to the hobbit-talk. He had a tall tankard in front of him, and was smoking a long-stemmed pipe curiously carved. His legs were stretched out before him, showing high boots of supple leather that fitted him well, but had seen much wear and were now caked with mud. A travel-stained cloak of heavy dark-green cloth was drawn close about him, and in spite of the heat of the room he wore a hood that overshadowed his face; but the gleam of his eyes could be seen as he watched the hobbits."

Well, I've seen people react differently. Some people get the works, snot, vomiting, eyes, ears ringing or what not, and very few people have no reaction at all (though that's very rare)...

I was able to breathe through my nose just fine, and I even got a lot on my tongue and ingested it with no problem. But my eyes clenched shut automatically in pain and I couldn't open them for more than a quarter of a second every like 5 seconds until I got out of the room. And all I got from swallowing the CS was a lot of burping later.

I guess it's better than having a low standard of living. I see that a lot in Thailand and Malaysia. There is stagnant water virtually anywhere you go in the city and garbage discarded just off the sidewalk. Not to mention all the human trafficking and child prostitution. Pretty disturbing :C

That sign is outside of the Outlet Mall in Pattaya. If you're ever in Pattaya, it might be worth a little visit JUST to see that sign in person, huh?

Incidentally, we have just gotten underway from Thailand. We've got one more stop before heading home: The Philippines. This will be the third time I've been there. I'll try to snag some pictures of the more interesting areas, if I can.

THAT SUCKS

"As she raised a glass of water, everyone exptected they'd be asked the "half empty or half full" question. Instead, with a smile on her face, she inquired, "How heavy is this glass of water?" The answers called out ranged from 8oz. to 20 oz. She replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my arm. If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel numb and paralyzed. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn't change but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes." She continued, "The stress and worries in life are like that glass of water. think about them for awhile and nothing happens. Think about them for a big longer and they begin to hurt. And if you think about them all day long, you will feel paralyzed - incapable of doing anything. Always remember to put the glass down."~ AnonymousPrevious Quote
